Layer change spotting
I`m a recent subscriber to the LG fan club and I`ve yet to see a layer change on any of my (admittedly few) discs.
To save watching the films REALLY carefully I wondered if people could tell me where the transition takes place on some of my discs. This would really annoy some people I know who claim layer changes can`t be avoided, although I say that, technically speaking, they are inexcuseable. They do have really old players though.
Region 2
Armageddon
Chicken Run
Ghostbusters
The Dark Crystal
Labyrinth
The Matrix
Mission Impossible 2
The Mummy
South Park
Stuart Little
Tarzan (2 disc version)
Region 1
X-Men
Before anyone asks, I do intend to get a lot more R1 discs!
Thanks in advance to anyone who replies!
RE: Layer change spotting

Gladiator
Hard Rain
Matrix
Leon
Saving Private Ryan
Lethal Weapon 4
Bound
All R2 mined but I watched Perfect Storm on my mates Matsui and that suffered from layer changes about three times through the film, I`ve yet to borrow it and try on mine to see if it does but so far haven`t seen anything with the other films !
LG 3200E - Da bolloxs !!!!!
RE: Layer change spotting
Thanks for the replies guys, but I was asking for people who HAVE seen layer chnges on some of my discs to point out roughly where they happened, if they can remember.
RE: Layer change spotting
Get a hold of Perfect Strorm R2, the layer change is around chapter 20 to 21 just as the picture moves from them on the boat to a guy in a weather research station.
If it isn`t a faulty disc though, your LG will breeze right over it.
Aiwa`s and LG`s don`t know what a "Layer change" is!!
AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!1
Layer changes are for wimps - my Encore 450 knows no such thing - apparently it`s down to the cute little PC DVD-ROM drive in this player.
Otherwise, would loved to have helped, he said smugly...
RE: Layer change spotting
I`ll come clean. My main reason for wanting to know when the change happened on my discs was to show off to a couple of mates who have had players for ages - neither of them believe that layer changes can be avoided.
I`m obviously not going to buy a disc just for that purpose so I`ll have to get them to watch a film of theirs on my player.
Ahhhhh My Forte!
THE HITACHI 505 IS THE MASTER OF THE LAYER CHANGE!
ASK DAZ He has had both a 505 and a LG3350!
Strange!!
No responses from Sony owners. They should be able to tell you the precise point on every disc they own.
No offence, guys :)))
LOL!
Nice one Golby Lad:P
